Fumes fill cabin on plane heading to Canberra

By aviation writer SCOTT MAYMAN

There’s been an emergency involving a Qantas flight to Canberra.

Flight QF 1974 had just taken off from Adelaide on Monday morning when, 10 minutes into the flight, fumes began filling the aircraft.

The pilot turned back to Adelaide as a precaution.

Passengers were accommodated on other flights.

Fire crews later gave the plane the all clear, but the cause of the fumes has not been disclosed.
